Product Description

Product Description

Take a look overhead--Spider-Man is arriving to the Game Boy Color just in time. As the beloved photojournalist-cum-webslinger, you'll explore New York's skyline, sewers, and hideouts to fulfill several side-scrolling missions. Use Spider-Man's superhuman strength to fight such notorious foes as Dr. Octopus, Venom, and Electro. Use his spider abilities to spin webs (any size) so you can disable and detain bosses, swing around buildings, and creep along walls and ceilings. And thanks to your spider-sense, you'll detect impending danger from a distance. There is no wealth or fame at the end of this game, however; action is your only reward.

Product Description

Master criminal, Dr. Octopus, is up to his old tricks this time conducting dangerous genetic experiments. Spidey will have to do some serious web slinging if he wants to stop his nemesis! Travel over New York City rooftops, streets, subways, sewers, and all the way out to the docks in your attempt to save mankind. Just like in the popular comic book series, Spider-Man can climb walls, stick to any surface, detect danger with his Spider-Sense, and use regular old hand-to-hand combat to take down his enemies. There'll be plenty of awesome power-ups to help you catch Octopus: one-ups, hearts, limited invincibility, and more. Lots of characters from the comic book play significant roles in the hand-held game as well: Venom, Lizard, and Hobgoblin will try to take Spidey down, while Carnage waits at the game's end as a final boss. Fans of the comic series and gamers alike will love this Game Boy adaptation of a time-honored series

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome, December 26, 2000

This review is from: Spider-Man (Game Cartridge)

Spider- Man for Game Boy is a great game. The whole storyline of Dr. Connors' lab being blown up and Spider Man going through the city and fighting the villains is pretty cool too. The graphics are pretty good although not spectacular. The gameplay makes up for the graphics. If you are familar with Spider- Man then you will easily spot the villains. However if you are not it may take some time to see them.

One thing I really enjoy about the game is that you can actually have a fight with the villains out of the adventure. For ex., at a certain point in each level you may come across a spot and the screen will appear and you will be fighting a villain.

I reccomend Spider- Man for older Game Boy users because the gameplay is very challenging and youngsters may get confused. If you buy this game you will definitley be happy with your purchase. Buy and enjoy.

HAPPY GAMING!

This review is from: Spider-Man (Game Cartridge)

When i was opening the spiderman package, I was wondering , was this game worth it? "I asked myself." But I was pleased to see how fun and cool this game was. I mean, you can swing from building to building, and throw a little web at your enemies, which i thought was awesome. And spidey, looks pretty ... good for a little character. It's worth the purchase. I really enjoy playing this game. but, when you start playing this game, you're gonna be like ahhhh mannn. But, the key thing is to understand the controls, and i bet ya, you're gonna have fun playing this tittle. So i give it 4 stars. It's a cool game to play when ya get into it. It's phenomenal! So check it out.

Do not listen to other people who have review this item and gave it one star. They are probable little kids who are under 18 and don't know how to play a game with challenge. That is what good about this game it has old-school challenge and that is important and very hard for me to find in a game. The villians are cool the story is somewhat the same as the N64 version but a little different.
